Hands Up.....

If you put blue fabric in the washing machine with light coloured fabric, and it turned blue. Yes that would be me then. Can't believe I did it, so one trip to Hobbycraft to get replacements (and more!!) and trying to track down the mini cupcake bolt, so if you have any ideas on how to get that dye out, please let me know.

How was your Christmas and New Year?? I finished my main job on Christmas Eve, and been off since, although I am now back.  Had a slight accident the week before Christmas and have been hobbling since…

Made these cute bow cushions which are for sale on Esty, my wee boy thinks they are dog bones, and tries to eat them (don't ask about the dog thing!). They are very quick to make and uses fat quarters.

In the final stages of testing my new dolly carrier, and should be sorted hopefully in a couple of weeks.

I made a candy cane wreath for the door, but my wee boy, broke it, so had to do a second one and got that hanged on the door. Now broken up in a box, with the intention that I might make biscuits and melt the candy cane into them! Trying not to eat the bits :-)

I made a new lunch bag, but I managed to get insulating material in between so should keep the food hot or cool!

I am still doing card making but not doing much, but I do offer a wedding service, so if you have got engaged, then get in touch and see what I can offer.

Busy busy

Hello, hope you are all well.Yes I have been busy, that is no excuse though. My health has not been good either, which has not been helping and often find myself in bed at a very early hour.

 I have a bit of news regarding my website.  I have taken the decision to set up a separate web site for all my craft items that I am selling off.  I felt at times that these items often were taking over the shop, so I set up www.kcardssupplies.co.uk. I will only charge a flat rate on that site for postage, and of course you are able to call me at home to pay over the phone, so mark your order as paid by postage.  So any excess craft items I have or not going to use then I will put it up here instead of the main shop.

I have been keeping busy on the sewing front, and trying to get Esty off the ground as well.  I have had to take the child mai-tei off sale as I need to get them CE tested, and will be making an appearance in the new year. 

Robert has been helping me model some of my items for sale, as you can see getting very gorgeous, but then I am his mother!!  Some of the things he comes out with, only out of the mouth of babes……….

I have made a few hats, some have been okay some not, finding it difficult to sew round circles, but I am sure I will get the hang of it at some point.

I made some more sewing weight, with this fabulous ice cream material, when the hat gave me frustration, I turned it into the weights!

I also made some bottle bags, they need some further work on them, but they will be a new product in the new year.

I saw a pattern in Craftseller for a Halloween bag and made it of material rather than felt, I then had the idea for the smaller treat bags, using a bag pattern I had an only used half of the material, I then adapted them for Christmas, they are up for sale in the shop if you are interested in purchasing them.

I also seen this pattern on line, and thought that this would be ideal for crafters for holding their money and with it looping onto your belt.

Fingers crossed my health recovers soon, and I may also have a new job in the new year too!

Ohh weeell

You would of thought I would of finished being ill, oh no, no sooner than I got rid of one thing, I ended up with another.  Did not spend a good birthday at the beginning of May as I could tell I was not well and ohhh boy was I bad. Starting to get better but hope to be completely better soon. 

I have managed to do some sewing and feeling really proud with what I have achieved.

I have done a couple of children’s Mai –tai’s and love the fabrics I chosen. I found the basic patterns on the web but adapted them for me.

I have done some basic models and a luxury version.

 

I have also made some sewing weights out of fox fabric and also made some teeny weenie ones too.

Thought I would also show you my lunch bag I made, very handy for transporting my lunch and I hope to introduce a version with insulating batting in to keep things hot/cold.

Regards
